In this course, you will be asked to complete three journal assignments in which you reflect on “raising” a teen from birth through age 18 years. In these assignments, you will be required to reflect on your readings and personal experiences as you consider the unique challenges of three different developmental stages: ages birth to 10 years, ages 10 to 14 years, and ages 14 to 18 years. Imagine yourself as a parent of a child. You will raise your child from birth through age 18. As you read the course materials, you should imagine (and even keep notes about) scenarios that illustrate the concepts and theories in the readings and how they “connect” with the child you are raising.
For this week let us consider parenting from birth to 10 years and let us also consider culture. Put yourself in the role of the parent. Imagine many scenarios for parenting at these ages. At mealtimes, your kids are being “fussy eaters,” which is something the French typically don’t cater to, instead serving children the same meals they themselves eat. How about bedtimes? What time does your child go to bed? Do you have set bedtimes? In Argentina, parents let children stay up until 10:00 p.m. so they can participate more fully in family life (Bernstein, 2016). And do you let your first grader walk home from school by themselves? Japanese parents often let 7-year-olds ride the subway by themselves. A cultural norm of group reliance means that Japanese parents can depend on other members of the community to keep their children safe (Hoy, 2015). As you raise your child, it is clear that you have many aspects of their lives to consider. For this journal entry, consider—from your readings and from your own experiences—the challenges of raising a child from birth to 10 years and the cultural influences in their development.
Specifically, answer the following questions:

PSY 322 Journal
Rubric
Overview: Approach these activities as (a) an opportunity to reflect upon and apply what you learn each week based on the assigned readings, discussions, and
activities, and (b) an opportunity to share your knowledge and expertise based on your educational and professional experiences in the past. As a successful
professional, you will need good reflective and writing skills. Journal activities offer you the opportunity to further develop these skills. Journals are private
between the student and the instructor. Journals will be graded individually.
Guidelines: Throughout this course, you will keep a private journal to capture your reflections and connections as you “raise” a child from birth to age 18. This is
a private conversation between you and the instructor. Use the journal as an opportunity to stretch your mind and take some chances. All journal assignments
should be supported with evidence from the module resources, your reflections about raising a teenager, and your own experiences.
Guidelines for Submission: Submit your assignment as a Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins.
